The iPad part of that is all fake. Even says "Parody" in the video title guys, come-on.

Also, Boots > Knee Pads > Gloves are the things I spend a good hunk of money on quality items for. In my case the knee pads are real Crye Combat Pants AC or the new G3 Combat Pants (there's nothing better). Got some real Matterhorn waterproof combat boots and real Oakley SI Assault Gloves as well. Soon to have some Oakley SI Assault Shoes and a pair of G3 pants from Crye in real Multicam hopefully.

Just bought these on a whim. I took their word for it that it was $180 normally, and apparently ebay had this one day sale going for $60. Didn't do much research besides that, though I'm not one to be bothered by small details like if they actually see battlefields or not. For $60, it's a reasonable price for boots imo. Looking to use these for games obviously, but also for some civilian use. Even though these are "desert deployment" boots, hopefully they can hold up to moderately rainy days.

Yeah I've heard the Magnum boots are good.

My helmet is finally ordered, as well as my Crye G3 Combat Pants (Multicam). Soon I'll finally have my FAST kit impression mostly finished with the exception of little gadgets and such.

Still waiting on a second V-Lite, and VIP Strobe/Manta/MS-2000 for the backside. Not sure what I want to stick on the back yet. I've got a Surefire helmet light ordered as well, should of been here today but the site I ordered it from had it back-ordered.

Hey lancer, what's your take on the AFG1 after using it thus far? And what are your thoughts concerning the AFG2 in comparison? I'm thinking of getting one or the other, but can't really decide which would function better on my SCAR. From what I've read, the only real difference with the AFG2 is it's smaller size. Personally, I don't see that being much of an improvement for me, since my hands are slightly bigger than average (I have particularly long fingers). The SCAR has more than enough rail space for either, and the original AFG1 seems to have a sturdier mount towards the front end. Dilemmas.

Thats cool that you have the camera on there, do you plan to shoot any videos while playing sometime soon?

I've found that I wish the angle of the AFG was more than it currently is, maybe 10 more degrees and it would be more comfortable on the SCAR. The problem with the AFG on the SCAR is that the AFG was designed to be used further towards the end of the barrel instead of really close to the magazine. I've been thinking of picking up a stubby magpul vertical grip and trying to use it in a hybrid stance (holding the rifle like you do with the AFG, but with a vertical grip instead). Basically the SCAR is to short for comfortable AFG usage, but I still like it more than a long vertical grip or going without an addon.

It functions really well with my new Surefire Scout style weapon-light though, pictures coming soon.

Wow, crazy shot at 9:50. And mad suppression going on at 11:50 lol. I was in a similar situation once, where we were playing in a forested area. Damned SAW was set up on the other side of a clearing, and I was forced to go prone behind a tree that forked up into two trunks. Just the shear weight of fire from those things was enough for the guy to land one lucky shot that ricocheted off the tree before hitting me. Since ricochets could be fatal in actual combat, I decided I had to call hit (though as you can imagine I really didn't feel good about it). LMG's in airsoft aren't accurate for shit, but they sure make me sweat, especially in woodland games where there isn't clearly definable cover, like a side of a building where there's a nice corner that separates you from the gunner's line of sight. Goddamn I want to pay airsoft

Anyway, to be more specific with my question on the AFG1, have you ever wished it to be smaller in your grip? I still want to decide which would be better for me. Then I'll decide if I want to buy it after using my vertical grip a few more times in the manner that you described.

If anything I wish it was slightly beefier, I have big hands with long fingers and it's a tad bit small for me.
